Found this gem today while looking through confluence.

Goals:
Can the candidate use Slack?
Ask follow up questions if missed anything.
Ask the questions that tell a lot about someone without directly asking it (i.e. Have you ever met someone famous? (Telling what the candidate values in life) What are your hobbies? (Telling if candidate has a work life balance). If you were a crayon, what color would you be and why? (Highlights prominent aspects of candidate’s personality) Please don’t just use these, be creative.)

A crayon???? Das when I hang up

    When recruiters try to make it look like there's something to their job other than emailing resumes to people with actual skills

    This is from our tech lead who took a udemy course.

    Work life balance, fair enough. Can piss right off with the others. Meeting someone famous doesn't tell you what the candidate values - if I met Jimmy Saville once, that certainly doesn't mean I'm into the same things as him...

    With the celebrity and crayon hobby psychologist bullshit, my answer would be: "Yeah, so let's return to job related questions. Can you please walk me through your development process and roles?"
